We come across news of molestation, physical assault every day. Sometimes even Wife or girlfriends files cases against their partner. What is Permission in those cases?
In this modern era, people are actually trying their level best to be modern or look cool. And to do so, They try everything the dressing style, fashion, culture, and whatnot. They are even forgetting their own culture and tradition because they find it uncool.
Do they really know what our culture is? Do they have any idea what it teaches us? I guess no we don't know because if we have known we hardly have heard the kind of news we come across daily.
Our culture teaches us to respect the women, to respect them that if they denies for something we don't do that. Our culture teaches us the meaning of permission.
Even if we are married, we don't have the right to do anything sexual until the wife approves it or she is ready to do it. We cannot force it onto her or she is not bound that on the name of marriage we have the right to force sex on her. Marriage never allows that.
The same is the case when you are in a relationship. Physical intimacy cannot happen without the permission of both. If one of the partners is not ready then the other should respect that and wait for the time until the other person gives their permission and is fully ready for this step.
Sometimes the ego problems play a major role for one person to take the wrong action and force the physical intimacy on the other one because they think that they have every right to do so because they are committed and they have spent a lot on the other person but we actually need to understand the true meaning of relationship or commitments.
Communication is the key. We need to keep communicating with our partners what we are feeling or what we want. So that we are aware of the feeling or intentions of another person. Then we have every right to either leave the person or move forward because we know that we will never be ready for the thing the other person is expecting.
So, ermission is very important because it is something one deserves and we should never loose our patience and do something we regret for our life.
